How much does accommodation costs?

student housing rental

Accommodation costs depends on a few factors:
  • the city you are living in (For example, rent in London and Melbourne will be higher than rent in Sunderland or Tasmania)
  • on-campus or off-campus (off-campus accommodation is typically, though not always, cheaper)
  • catered or self-catered (i.e. with or without prepared meals)
  • facilities that comes with it (studio apartment, ensuite bathroom, or shared facilities)

Accommodation may represent up to 50% of your total living expenditure, so it is important to select your accommodation wisely and within your financial means.

TheRightU will advise you on the various accommodation options and costs, based on your requirements and budget.
